I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks Merope for being the most patient and generous editor. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

I have had concerns since this bill was first heard that a) any death where the use of medication has assisted death should go to the Coroner, and b) that not doing so places a potential burden on medical examiners that has not previously been allowed for.

.Kim Leadbeater MBE MP you are misleading the House before today’s vote. You know the Royal College of Psychiatry - the experts in capacity & coercion - has explicitly opposed your bill. It breaks my heart that you would use a sleight of hand to mislead MPs and the public in this way.
